That. Was. Disturbing.
I just took a cue from Shiv and took a lovely little online quiz.

I am the bastard child of mankind and technology. I take pride in my balance of intelligence and physical strength. I have capabilites neither common to the average human, nor implementable in the average machine. I am good with my hands, as well as my head. Spotting me in a crowd isn't hard, I'm the one with the quick wit and the light spirit. Still can't find me? Look for the robotic arm. |
I do not find the Cybernetic Enhancement idea to be disturbing. What startled me is the fact that for some reason, without any urging from me, the dulcet tones of Aqua began pouring from my headphones, which were perched atop my computer. "Cartoon Heroes." I started rummaging through my desk, trying to find the Aqua CD, convinced the last thing I had listened to was Happy Hardcore Volume 6. Started wondering if I was so confused on Sunday that I put in Aqua and forgot about it. Began suspecting a coworker had rummaged through and secretly laughed at my music. My heart started racing. Realized that the CD player program was not even OPEN, much less PLAYING anything. Got seriously skeeved out at my possessed computer, freaked out. Started dancing in my seat to the song nonetheless. And then, finally, at last, realized that the nice person who made the quiz programmed it to PLAY the damned SONG when someone finished the damned QUIZ. It was being piped in over the internet.
I feel like such a tool.
